Spring Lager Beer 12 Oz Tab Top Can

Maier Spring Lager Tab Top Can

Spring Lager Beer was produced by the historic Maier Brewing Company of Los Angeles, California. Located near the heart of downtown Los Angeles, Maier was one of Southern California's long-standing regional brewing institutions, known for producing a wide portfolio of proprietary labels, regional economy beers, and supermarket contract brands alongside its flagship offerings.

Spring Lager served primarily as an economical, regional brand distributed to liquor stores, grocers, and discount markets across the West Coast. Some production runs of the Spring Lager can famously included printed retail promotions right on the label graphics, such as a bold "6 for 89¢" marking, reflecting the aggressive discount pricing wars fought by local breweries during the era.

For can collectors, Spring Lager presents several interesting variations across its production lifespan. Known design differences include metallic versus enamel paint finishes, slight shifts in graphic typography, and varying can seam configurations. With the eventual decline of regional brewing plants in Los Angeles and the subsequent closure of the downtown brewery, cans bearing the Maier mandatory line remain enduring artifacts of California's mid-century brewing landscape.
